Off topic but gardening is a time-consuming task. I'm lame. I have somebody that does it for me.

I can understand that.
We have been chopping back/pruning our tree sized crepe myrtles. We have put 8 hours each into gardening the last two weeks.
The problem with having an enormous yard. When I moved in 15 years ago I was a planting fiend and things grow like they are in a jungle here. :sweat:

You speak of fields of greens. Your "backyard" experience is much different
than that of us average schlubs.

^ I've got fields of gold: yellowed weeds after a dousing of Roundup. :mrgreen:

Gardening is what you do when you live in the boonies and have some acreage. :beaten:

Though in recent years in our area we've had heavy growth and that means lots of new restuarants. :victory:

The last gardening I did was chopping some Rosemary. So I will defer to your experience, Miss Green Thumb.

So your fruit trees survived that cold snap you had to endure this year?

Cool.

I had to prune my two pomegranate tree, persimmon, the fuji apple, korean pear, purple fig, navel orange and jujube. replanted and divided a bunch of aloe to give away. chased rabbits from my pepper plants and I have to start digging up all the broadleaf plantains, which i would keep, but i don't have medical issues that it would help.

and i only have a 1/8th acre, i'd hate to work on your yard ;)

roundup is ridiculously bad for you as well as the environment. i have a friend who is convinced that her pets died of cancer because of it.

If it bumped off the cats who always use my yard as a litter box, that wouldn't be a bad thing. :twisted:

EDIT: Yow, I had no idea how toxic that stuff really is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundup :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

one time, back in the day, i accidently got some on my arm and breathed a little of it in when the wind shifted. my arm had a rash for nearly a week and i was coughing for a month. i was much more careful after that, but not i don't use it.


Just remember, this type of stuff is going on a lot of food.. apple, peaches, etc. roundup ready GMOs as well. You really need to be careful about your food now... it's not just the health nuts. in fact they were probably right in the first place.

Yeah, I'm always wearing gloves and whatever when handling that stuff... :sweat:

I have gloves soaked in Roundup....I go around touching everything and it dies.

Oh, i've been chowing at this bbq place over in chinatown, Sprint Street Smokehouse. www.sssmokehouse.com (corner of North Spring and Cesear Chavez)

beef ribs are excellent, so are the smoked bbq wings. I could do without the pork spare ribs... i gotta try the babybacks still along with the smoked chicken.

Fingers were too dirty for photos, and the beer selection is good, heavy on IPAs.
